Homer Travel Guide
Alaska >
The Kenai Peninsula and Southcentral Alaska >
Photo: spirit of america / Shutterstock
At the southern end of the Sterling Highway lies the city of Homer, at the base of a narrow spit that juts 4 miles into beautiful Kachemak Bay. Glaciers and snowcapped mountains form a dramatic backdrop across the water.
Founded in the late 1800s as a gold-prospecting camp, this community was later used as coal-mining headquarters. Chunks of coal are still common along local beaches; they wash into the bay from nearby slopes where the coal seams are exposed. Today the town of Homer is an eclectic community with most of the tacky tourist paraphernalia relegated to the Spit (though the Spit has plenty else to recommend it, not the least of which is the 360-degree view of the surrounding mountains); the rest of the town is full of local merchants and artisans. The community is an interesting mix of fishermen, actors, artists, and writers. Much of the commercial fishing centers on halibut, and the popular Homer Jackpot Halibut Derby is often won by fish weighing more than 300 pounds. The local architecture includes everything from dwellings that are little more than assemblages of driftwood to steel commercial buildings and magnificent homes on the hillside overlooking the surrounding bay, mountains, forests, and glaciers.

The Human Side of the Sandy Hook Tragedy
Late last year, Gallery Books published a new book on the Sandy Hook massacre, "Newtown: An American Tragedy," that brings into full relief the human element of the tragedy. Authored by Matthew Lysiak, a staff writer for the Daily News who traveled to Newtown to cover the shooting, the book goes beyond the sensational news bytes we have become so accustomed to and reminds us of the heroism of the first responders who tried to so valiantly to make a difference that day, and the value of the lives that were lost.
Lysiak's book paints a vivid portrait of the remarkable heroism shown by those involved in the tragedy on December 14, 2012, and the sheer horror that occurred in the school:
"Then the shooting stopped [in one of the classrooms Adam Lanza entered]. Adam's [AR-15] rifle had jammed. First-grader Jesse Lewis, who was standing behind the children holding hands, stared directly at the shooter and shouted, 'Run!' Four did run, squeezing past the killer standing in the doorway. Two other students ran into the bathroom." They survived.
"[After the shooting] came the grueling task of searching for signs of life among the children. Officer [William] Chapman found a faint pulse on a little girl, Olivia Engel, who was still faintly breathing. The tall, muscular Chapman cradled the child in his arms and ran with her outside. 'We need a bus!' he screamed. 'You're safe now; your parents love you,' he kept repeating to Olivia again and again, trying to comfort her. 'The police are here to protect you.' As he walked farther he again shouted for an ambulance. 'Get the bus!" Chapman screamed, still trying to comfort the young girl, who lay limp in his arms. Officer Chapman walked a few feet toward the bus before his strength gave out. He collapsed to the ground … The ambulance pulled up to the entrance … Several first responders sprang to [Chapman's] aid, picked him up off the ground by his shoulders, and carried the little girl's lifeless body into the ambulance before racing away with lights blaring … Detective [Joe] Joudy looked at Officer Chapman, covered in blood, walking back inside the school. 'They've got to get you guys out of here,' he told Chapman."
"They were all found wrapped together, clutching each other for comfort during their final moments. Each had suffered multiple gunshot wounds. The scene was too horrific to be from this earth, [Officer Leonard Penna] thought. Officer Penna walked over and began checking for life amid the bodies and found a single girl standing alone, covered from head to toe in blood. She appeared to be in shock but had not been injured."
"Some officers formed a human shield around the bodies of [Principal Dawn] Hochsprung and [school psychologist Mary] Sherlach, to shield the children from the sight as they walked past."
"As new officers continued to arrive, they were warned by the officers standing guard outside the school about the scene inside. 'If you have children, you especially do not want to go in there,' they advised."
"[Susan] Ludwig couldn't believe the sight as she looked at the little girl, who was covered from head to toe in blood, with pieces of flesh hanging off her body, and watched as she ran to the arms of her mother, in the parking lot."
"'Was everyone crying, scared, and wanting their parents to come get them?' the [news] anchor asked the young student [outside the school] … 'Yeah, they were, and then some people were even, like, it sounded like they had a stomachache.'"
The horrors found inside the Lanza home were no less traumatizing:
"The four gunshot wounds to [Nancy Lanza's] head had nearly decapitated her. The wounds suggested the weapon had been pressed directly against her head when fired. At the foot of the bed lay a Savage Mark .22-caliber rifle with three live rounds inside and one spent cartridge."
Lysiak details the impact this had on survivors and first-responders alike:
From the mother of a six-year-old girl who survived the shooting: "She's afraid to go to sleep. She has nightmares every night, usually that she is in the school and something is trying to get her, to kill her."
"Locally, [the students who survived the shooting] are known as 'the rebels' … All have received counseling and several have shown symptoms of severe PTSD."
"Several EMTs couldn't go back to work … Many were treated for PTSD."
The most devastating section of Lysiak's book, however, involves his recount of the funerals of those who were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary. There we learn precious, personal details about the children and educators taken from us in the tragedy:
NOAH POZNER, 6 years old. His mother Veronique Pozner told him at his funeral, "You wanted to be a doctor, a soldier, and a taco factory manager … We are all of us elevated in our humanity by having known you … I can only believe that you were planted on earth to bloom in heaven."
JESSICA REKOS, 6 years old. Her mother, Krista, said at her funeral: "She wanted cowgirl boots—real cowgirl boots, not ones from Target. And she wanted a cowgirl hat, and it had to be black. Santa was going to bring those things next week."
VICKI SOTO. "Midway through the funeral, singer Paul Simon, who knew the Soto family through his sister-in-law, picked up his acoustic guitar and began to sing the twenty-seven-year-old teacher's favorite song without introduction, as her three siblings, Jillian, Carlee, and brother Carlos, wept. When Simon finished, there was no applause, just a reverent silence." Her sister Jillian recalled that she had received a letter from someone who told her that "they had to sit down three small children, explaining to them that monsters sadly do exist out there. But they felt relief that because of my sister, they were able to tell them that superheroes are also very real." Vicki Soto was a teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary.
DANIEL BARDEN, 7 years old. "Hundreds of fire officials lined the street in a silent show of support, saluting Daniel's coffin … Daniel would never get the chance to live out his dream of being a New York City firefighter."
GRACE MCDONNELL, 6 years old. "Her heartbroken mother stood in front of the packed pews and shared her treasured memories of her slain daughter, confiding that she had a secret bedtime ritual with her precious 'fashionista,' featuring a several-minute-long handshake and ending with them both saying the words 'hot fire.' … 'You made me fearless,' said Lynn McDonnell."
RACHEL D'AVINO. Rachel's boyfriend was going to propose to her on Christmas Eve. Rachel was a behavioral therapist at Sandy Hook Elementary.
In a country that loses more than 31,000 of its citizens to gun violence each year, it can be easy to get lost in statistics. "Newtown: An American Tragedy" reminds us that behind every headline is a group of human beings—of families—whose lives are utterly and totally destroyed by gun violence. It's an important reminder for everyone dedicated to building an America that fulfills our Founders' original promise of "domestic tranquility."

I never really thought much about the week leading up to the Super Bowl. I never thought about the entourage the big game would bring to the host city, the media frenzy, the nightly parties, nor the mass of fans that would visit. Then again, I have never had a reason to. This is the first year I have lived in the host city for a Super Bowl. Sunday, Super Bowl XLV was held in Arlington, Texas. However, for the entire week prior, all of Dallas-Fort Worth was overtaken with NFL hype. I am not a big fan of the National Football League. I try to follow the Cowboys and I do follow quite a bit of NFL conversation during my daily ESPN Radio fix. I just wouldn't say I am a fan and I certainly don't get excited about it. I have always taken a lot of heat for that. I have many friends that do not understand my apathy toward the sport, claiming that the NFL is far more entertaining than college football. I must admit I took on somewhat of an "if you can't beat em' join em'" approach last week. I tried to get into the spirit and even spent an evening in Packers Territory (downtown Las Colinas) amongst the players and fans.
Ironically, one evening last week, I came across a GQ article from September of 1999, listing "50 Reasons Why Pro Football is Better than College Football." I often tear out articles I want to read and put them in a pile. Obviously, the pile is slow moving, but the timeliness of this particular article was perfect. No doubt, I saved this article to compare it to the arguments I am frequently presented from friends. Below are the 10 points I feel are most worthy of notation (direct quotes from the article and in no particular order) and would add value to a conversation on the subject. I still wouldn't pass up an Oklahoma Football game for any match-up the NFL has to offer, though.
1. No male megaphone-toting cheerleaders.
3. Tailgating the way it ought to be, by fat guys in sweats, not moms straight out of the Talbots catalog.
4. You can give a pro player a Cadillac and two new suits and not go to jail for it.
5. We all know what a Lion is. What the hell is a Nittany Lion?
6. Of Miami's two professional teams, the Dolphins draw twice as many fans as the Hurricanes and half the felonies.
7. No pimply-faced, cable-holding teenager following the head coach around the sideline.
9. Papa Bear Halas-player, coach, owner. Let's see Bobby Bowden do that.


This confrontational student campaign included disruptive actions on campus over the first two terms in order to highlight an issue that had been ignored by the University for several years.
After threatening students with disciplinary and even legal action in the first term, the determination and commitment of students to hold their University accountable for its complicity in climate change led the institution to concede to the demands of the campaign.
The demand for divestment was supported by Loughborough UCU, 1,000 petition signatories and over 80 academics publicly supporting an open letter. In addition to a variety of creative actions, strategic targeting of open days by the group added the voices of concerned prospective students and their parents regarding the University's unsafe and unethical investments.
We thank the Vice Chancellor and management staff for engaging positively with us, and regret that this approach was not taken sooner. We hope it can now be seen that students want to push Loughborough to be the best University it can be, and we welcome the full divestment policy committed to by the University council.
For students: radical campaigns work. You do have a voice, and you can make change.
Loughborough People & Planet will be continuing with a new campaign and new members in the coming academic year, and we hope as many of you as possible will join us.

Putting out fires with milk and beer: South Coast survivors tell their stories
Our coverage of the bushfire crisis is free for all readers. Please consider supporting our journalism with a subscription.
By Kurt Provost
January 13, 2020 — 11.55am
Of all the stories that have been flooding into our small store in Ulladulla, as customers from fire ravaged communities arrive for supplies, this was one of the more unusual.
Having run out of water to defend his home in Lake Conjola, a resident resorted to smothering spot fires with milk.
Properties destroyed in Conjola Park on the NSW South Coast. Credit:James Brickwood
And when the insulation in his shed caught alight, he tapped into his supply of home-brewed beer, spraying it liberally and saving the shed.
His verandah caught alight when he was out of water, milk and home brew so, like a surgeon, he took to it with a chainsaw, severing the infected parts, saving his home from total destruction … which was unfortunately the fate of his neighbours as the wall of flames rushed through their community on New Year's Eve.
Stories like this have been pouring in. The town is awash with absent-minded people, bumbling through their tasks, their thoughts caught in the burnt wreckage of their family homes, a lifetime of broken memories lying heavily over the carcasses, like spiderwebs broken by heavy rain.
There was the woman who just escaped her burning house, rowed across the lake to her boyfriend's home where they fled in a car that had its carpet alight as the embers rained down on them.
Or the usually elegant and composed older woman whose hands shook and purse dropped, who apologised for her uncharacteristic dithering.
"I just lost my home ... but I don't want to even tell you that ... I just want to explain why I'm … why I'm … like this ... " Her eyes were rimmed with tears, betraying her attempt at composure.
It's not about the physical dwelling, the four walls and a roof, it's about the lifetime that was woven between those walls, the irreplaceable fabric of her very identity. Gone, forever.
Or how about Trent who'd been using his boat to search for his mother, when he encountered people stranded on the beach, nearly naked, sunburnt, feet blistering and in desperate need of water, food and shelter. He took as many as he could fit on the boat, and came back for more and then more.
A kookaburra surveys the destruction on the South Coast.
"I've spent $600 on fuel so far, but I can't stop; we have to go back in, people need help," he said.
After these frantic trips, he realised the immensity of the task, and asked for help. He put a simple post on the community's Facebook group. The following morning, 26 boat owners showed up, creating a small fleet.
They set about the evacuation of the beach's north. The roads were closed in these places, police stood guard over the road entrances, ash falling about them in the grey haze that flashed blue and red. The only sound was of trees crashing to the ground in the smouldering forests around them. An eerie place. They were protecting the people to the best of their ability from the danger of the fires, broken power lines and looters on trail bikes following the fire's carnage.
However, they were unprepared to protect them from the horrors within the isolated communities: 89 homes wiped out, countless more damaged, no power, sewage systems breaking down, no telecommunications, food and water scarce, tensions rising.
These have been anxious days, as fire surged, devouring whole mountains, species and communities, with an insatiable fury. Pockets of humanity clung to the coastline with a dwindling water source and power supply for their generators, praying for the wind to change and heavens to spill open with rain.
Against this backdrop, an unusual phenomenon occurred. While some people responded to this oppressive fear by holding their head high and stepping forward, being of use to themselves and those around them, others reacted by charging extortionate prices to those who had panic in their eyes and dirt under their fingernails. Like the now infamous $48 for bottles of water, $100 for a gas canister, or $104 for a 40-pack of cigarettes for a woman who had just watched her house burn down.
Then there are those like the motorist who drove off without paying for their petrol, people posing as emergency service officials telling residents to evacuate, then robbing their homes, thieves on motorbikes riding the back trails of the burnt-out forest to loot homes in isolated communities.
Hardship, fear and desperate times don't make people evil, they simply reveal qualities we hide during the cushy times when the electricity is on and our bellies are full.
As a customer said to me the other day, "When the power stops, we see that there are two groups of people, and one of those groups wants to harm the other."
I hope that, when the time of crisis arrives before me, I can meet it with the same level of tenacity, resourcefulness and generosity as the man with his boat and the resident with his milk.

What Some Better Call Saul Fans Miss About The Older Seasons
AMC/YouTube
By Patrick Phillips/April 14, 2022 1:34 pm EST
The final season of AMC's immaculate "Breaking Bad" spin-off "Better Call Saul" is almost upon us, and fans of the series are gearing up for what we can only assume will be an emotionally devastating final run of episodes. Those fans, of course, know more or less what lies ahead for a few central players in "Better Call Saul," as certain fates were sealed by the finale of the show's iconic predecessor. And with the recent confirmation that Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) will appear in the final season of "Better Call Saul," we now know the beginning of the end is indeed near for many.
Heading into the final season, the fate of Saul's partner in life and crime, Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn), is arguably the one fans are most concerned over. Even as Kim continues to break bad by Saul's side, the ultimate fate of the attorney formerly known as Jimmy McGill remains one of the series' biggest question marks. As it is, Jimmy's rapid transformation into the titular ambulance-chasing underworld figure has fueled the series' white-knuckle narrative over the past couple of seasons. But it has also left some "Better Call Saul" fans missing a very specific element from the show's early seasons.
The demise of Jimmy McGill is taking a serious toll on the Better Call Saul fandom
It seems that Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman has been more upsetting than "Better Call Saul" creatives could've anticipated. According to fans on Reddit, the element they miss most from the show's older seasons is actually Jimmy himself. That much was made clear in a Reddit thread from u/siggeplump titled simply "I miss Jimmy," which was accompanied by a lengthy post detailing just how devastating his metamorphosis has been.
That user was not alone in feeling the dramatic burn of Jimmy being all but consumed by the Saul persona in recent seasons. Redditor u/NotActuallAGoat wrote in a comment, "When I first started watching 'BCS,' I was excited to see more of Saul Goodman. Now I just want Jimmy McGill back." Ditto for u/operarose, who responded with, "I'm really going to miss him. I came to love Jimmy and wanted to defend and see him succeed as much as Kim did. Seeing Saul well and truly come out is going to be heartbreaking."
Meanwhile, u/Jakewb claims their re-watch of the series that spawned "Better Call Saul" has only added to their own heartbreak over Jimmy, posting, "I've been rewatching 'Breaking Bad,' and I feel the same way going back and seeing who Jimmy turned into ... and seeing who he's become by the time he appears in 'Breaking Bad' is pretty heartbreaking." In the eyes of one savvy user, however, fans might be reading the Jimmy-Saul transition the wrong way. They argued, "I used to miss Jimmy and then I realized that Saul is the real Jimmy, like it or not ... The whole time he's Jimmy he's pretending, the whole time he's Saul, he's real." And that's perhaps the most devastatingly insightful take on "Better Call Saul" you'll find on the internet.
The final season of "Better Call Saul" will make its AMC debut on April 18, 2022.


As part of your day at Candia Springs Adventure Park take an offroad adventure in a Pinzgauer. These vehicles were designed to go just about anywhere, and they sure can! Jump in the truck after soaring over the park on the super twin zips to take a thrilling ride across the park to top off the adventure.


I'm glad I have a story to tell. It's unique, it's mine, and I'm blessed to have it.
L.A. has brought so many opportunities and allowed me to reach the level of success I've been blessed to achieve thus far. L.A. can definitely open a lot of doors for anyone focused on achieving their passion and dreams.
I was blessed to have my son, ZZ, doing it; he managed to pull nothing but the truth out of me. Put all that aside, and you think how strange it is to watch a movie about some small, but important, part of your life.
In the mid-1990s, when I stopped having to run from the shows to the film developing lab and first saw digital images, I blessed technology and was convinced that my working life was changing for the better.
If I'm blessed enough to have financial freedom in this world, my family is the ones I owe thanks to first.
I certainly feel as if I've been blessed professionally and personally, but I've still got moves I'd like to make.
This is my dream. I've been doing this since I was a kid, and I've been blessed to work and be a working actor, and there's not a day that goes by that I'm not thankful for that, but my priorities have definitely shifted.
I've been in constant awe of the people I've been blessed to work with and, obviously, who have had great success in the film industry.
Show business is fickle, and though I have been blessed with a healthy career, who knows how long that will last?
All I know, is that I feel extremely blessed to be on TV. It's a hard job, but real life is harder. Truth be told, playgrounds can be war zones.
I think one of the reasons for the success of 'Breaking Bad,' and now for 'Better Call Saul,' is that we have been blessed by AMC and Sony with enough time to figure things out.
I've been very blessed as far as my faith sustaining me because it's not like I haven't been challenged and I haven't been tested and disappointed. But my faith does really bind me and keep me.
First off, you can't replace Bobby Hatfield. I was just blessed to be able to sing with maybe the greatest singer in the world as a first tenor.
There were moments that Bobby and I would come offstage after performing in front of 20,000 people and say, 'Wow, how did that happen?' It's been a blessed life.
The show changed my life in so many remarkable ways. Now in my 82nd year, I have been blessed with a wonderful 67-year career with 'Hee Haw' as the icing on the cake.
You know, I've had an incredible career and I'm blessed.
I just take it as it comes, and if I'm not offered something, there's always a reason, and usually it's a pretty good one. I'm not worried about it. You know, I've had an incredible career, and I'm blessed.
I've been blessed by doing classic plays on Broadway, which was one of my great dreams forever.
I am very blessed to have this experience of being a parent, but do not negate me from this industry because I am a parent.
It's a very competitive industry, and so much of it does come down to luck, so I feel very blessed that I've been given the opportunities that I have, and I guess that's what fuels me - the fight to keep going.
I've been blessed to play these great parts that just open another door and another door, is I guess how it's worked.

Search from 300+ Million Listings The most common form of radionuclide therapy is the use of radioactive iodine in thyroid cancer, where even the cancer metastases collect iodine and shrink in size as their cells are locally destroyed by short-range radiation. Pain caused by bone metastases can be treated using short-range radiopharmaceuticals that are taken up by bone Radionuclides are also used in cancer treatment, in which case a radionuclide that has been taken up by the tumor destroys cancer cells through its radiation. In cancer treatment, the development trend is a more precise diagnosis, which strongly affects the success of the treatments themselves
Radioisotope Therapy Radioisotope therapy is a procedure in which a liquid form of radiation is administered internally through infusion or injection. RIT's ultimate purpose is to treat cancerous cells with minimal damage to the normal surrounding tissue. These therapies are not normally the first approach used to fight a patient's cancer There are different types of radioisotope treatment depending on what type of cancer Iodine-131 is used to treat certain types of thyroid cancer and some rarer types of cancer. Strontium-89 and samarium-153 is used to treat some types of secondary bone cancer. They can help reduce pain The use of radionuclides in medicine is not new: Every year, doctors perform more than 40 million medical procedures that rely on the use of medical isotopes. However, most of these procedures are. Radiation treatment of malignant growths is not, of course, a novel procedure; both radium im plants and X-rays generated at medium voltages (up to 250 kV) have been used all over the world for many years. However, large scale production of radio isotopes in atomic reactors has made radiotherap Several radioisotopes - using both alpha and beta particles — have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clinical use in cancer treatment.

Because of this, radioactive iodine (RAI, also called I-131) can be used to treat thyroid cancer. The RAI collects mainly in thyroid cells, where the radiation can destroy the thyroid gland and any other thyroid cells (including cancer cells) that take up iodine, with little effect on the rest of your body
The decay product (often gamma emission) can be located and the intensity measured. The amount of isotope taken up by the body can then give information as to the extent of the medical problem. An isotope of iodine (I-131) is used in both the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer
Isotopes have the following uses: (i) Treatment of diseases—Radioactive isotopes are used for the treatment of dreadful diseases like cancer. Cobalt-60 is used to kill malignant cells in patients suffering from cancer. (ii) Radioactive isotopes are used in chemical analysis. (iii) Diseases in plants are investigated by using radioactive isotopes The radioactive strontium is picked up by the cancer cells in the bone. This is because it is similar to calcium, which is also absorbed by bone cells. Before treatment. Your doctor will ask you to stop taking any calcium supplements 2 weeks before you start treatment. How you have radioactive strontium treatment One of the most frequent applications for interstitial brachytherapy is treatment of prostate cancer. Interstitial brachytherapy is also used to treat head and neck cancers, gynecologic cancers, sarcomas, and other tumors. A number of different isotopes have been used in brachytherapy (Table 4-2). Radium (half-life 1620 yr) was once the primary. Lutetium-177 is a radioactive isotope which decays quite rapidly over just a few years. It is useful in cancer treatments such as brachytherapy because the particles emitted only travel short distances. It is also used with neuroendocrine tumours and can be targeted to attack many over-expressed receptors on cancer cells Radioisotopes, atoms displaying radioactivity, can be used for diagnosing and treating cancer. For diagnosis, radioisotopes that emit gamma rays are used because of their penetrating capability,..

A radionuclide (sometimes called a radioisotope or isotope) is a chemical which emits a type of radioactivity called gamma rays. A tiny amount of radionuclide is put into the body, usually by an injection into a vein. Sometimes it is breathed in, or swallowed, or given as eye drops, depending on the test Strontium-89 and Samarium-153 are used to provide relief to pain induced by cancer. The new radioactive isotope being used for pain therapy is Rhenium-186. To control dispersed cancer types, the method called Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT) is being used Radioiodine therapy is a nuclear medicine treatment for an overactive thyroid, a condition called hyperthyroidism, and also may be used to treat thyroid cancer. When a small dose of radioactive iodine I-131 (an isotope of iodine that emits radiation) is swallowed, it is absorbed into the bloodstream and concentrated by the thyroid gland, where. Cobalt 60,a radioactive isotope emitting gamma rays. extremely high frequency electromagnetic waves are focused as much a is possible to the centre of the cancerous tumour(s). Another treatment is.. Radioisotopes prove to be useful in the application of brachytherapy, the procedure for using temporary irradiation close to the area of disease (i.e. cancer)10% 90% American Nuclear Society 2 Over 10,000 hospitals worldwide use radioisotopes in medicine, and about 90 percent of the procedures are for diagnosis
Systemic radiation therapy is used in the treatment of some types of thyroid cancer. The radioactive isotope, Iodine 131 is used. This is because thyroid cells naturally take up this radioactive isotope. For some types of cancer treatment the radioactive substance is joined to an antibody In medicine, radioactive isotopes are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Researchers at the Chalk River Laboratories are looking at better understanding targeted alpha-therapies and their use in cancer treatment. For many years, the National Research Universal (NRU) reactor produced the most commonly used medical isotope A rare isotope in high demand for treating cancer is now more available to pharmaceutical companies developing and testing new drugs. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently acknowledged. Caesium-137 is another example of an implantable radioactive isotope used in the treatment of uterine or vaginal cancers in conjunction with other therapies, i.e. chemotherapy. If radioactive isotopes are left inside the person they will of course continue to emit radiation
For example, carbon 12, carbon 13, and carbon 14 are isotopes of carbon. They all have six protons in the nucleus, but each has different number of neutrons. Isotopes may be used in certain medical tests and procedures. Source: NCI Dictionary of Cancer Terms. 2008-08-2 Last week, the team that operates the McMaster reactor suddenly started receiving a much higher volume of orders from manufacturers that use the isotope iodine-125 to make the seeds used in a cancer treatment called brachytherapy The isotope holmium-166 is attractive as it emits high-energy beta radiation which can be used for a therapeutic effect and gamma radiation which can be used for nuclear imaging purposes. Furthermore, holmium-165 can be visualized by MRI because of its paramagnetic properties and by CT because of its high density
It's significant because the isotope is used to make the seeds for a cancer treatment called low-dose rate brachytherapy. The internal radiation therapy puts the radioactive substance directly. Radioactive iodine treatment may also be used to treat thyroid cancer that recurs after treatment or that spreads to other areas of the body. Radioactive iodine treatment comes as a capsule or liquid that you swallow The initial application for Cesium 131 is for the treatment of localized prostate cancer. The fast-acting nature of the treatment allows men to quickly recover from short term side-effects from radiation and return to normal urinary, bowel and sexual function faster than with other brachytherapy isotopes In contrast, a gamma source incorporates a radioactive isotope (like Co-60). Keep in mind both of these technologies use ionizing radiation. As a result, cancer patients must be monitored throughout their life to ensure they do not develop other cancers, like leukemia. EBT is used to treat the following diseases as well as others: Breast cancer It is produced by irradiating the stable isotope cobalt-59 with neutrons in a nuclear reactor. Cobalt-60 is used in the inspection of materials to reveal internal structure, flaws, or foreign objects and in the sterilization of food. In medicine, it is used to treat cancer and to sterilize medical equipment
Hence, astatine, particularly its isotope astatine-211, is an attractive candidate for a form of radiation therapy for cancer treatment, called targeted alpha-particle therapy. Unlike other forms of radiation that can penetrate deeper into the body, damaging both healthy and cancerous tissue, alpha particles travel a short distance and lose. Stable isotope tracing is an essential technology to study the molecular mechanisms by which nutraceuticals modulate and target cancer metabolism It was the first treatment used for metastatic prostate cancer more than 70 years ago. Even though this is a surgical procedure, it is considered hormonal therapy because it removes the main source of testosterone production, the testicles. The effects of this surgery are permanent and cannot be reversed. Bilateral orchiectomy is not commonly.

As the Converged Infrastructure (CI) and Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) practice lead at AHEAD, I spend a significant portion of my time evaluating and designing solutions that include Dell CPSD (Converged Platforms and Solutions Division) components. In my last post, I introduced Dell's primary pillars of CI/HCI, notably VxBlock (CI), VxRail (HCI), and VxRack (a bit of CI and HCI). In this post, I am going to focus in on VxBlocks and Vblocks, providing an update on the products themselves, as well as providing my opinion on how I expect these CI products to fare during the HCI frenzy that we are currently in.
Dell CPSD, originally named Acadia (and then subsequently renamed several times over the years), was founded in 2009 through a partnership between Cisco, EMC, and Intel. The initial goal of the company was to provide what is now known as reference architectures, by combining Cisco networking and compute hardware with EMC storage and VMware software. This first iteration of Dell CPSD's offering involved shipping the components to the customer's location and assembling the gear onsite. Although this reference architecture approach provided some benefits, it was nowhere as impactful to the industry as Dell CPSD's current converged infrastructure offering.
Dell CPSD first established its now dominant foothold on the converged infrastructure space with the release of its Vblock 300 and 700 series in 2011. By then, Cisco UCS blade servers, which had been released in 2009 and integrated into VCE's products, were gaining significant market share both within and outside of Vblock sales. VCE also refined its manufacturing processes and met ISO 9001 requirements which included assembling, testing, and applying logical configurations to Vblocks at the factory.
Dell CPSD is now the market leader of the converged infrastructure space with over $2 billion in revenue in 2015 (VCE reporting in 2016 was merged into EMC's total numbers). In comparison, legacy Dell has been an active participant in the reference architecture and validated design space, but it has not had a true converged infrastructure solution offering. Now that the two entities are combined into one, Dell EMC is uniquely positioned to offer solutions across all architectures.
The history of the company, at least from a naming perspective (see below), may have changed many times over the last seven years, but one should recognize the success of the approach to market that has led to the $2B+ in annual revenue (incarnation of company notwithstanding)!
Before we dive into the products, I wanted to quickly address Vblocks vs VxBlocks. The reality is that these two terms confuse most customers, some partners, and even many of the folks inside the manufacturers. The reason why the term VxBlock exists is because "Vblock" is a trademarked legacy of the original EMC / Cisco joint venture – which must include Cisco server and networking components only. This effectively prohibited Dell CPSD from selling Vblocks with NSX installed from the factory which was part of EMC's attempt to launch its Enterprise Hybrid Cloud and ship fully configured. Vblocks on the other hand can be sold with Nexus 1000v from the factory, although this has never been mandatory and most traditional Vblock customers leverage VMware Distributed Switching instead of NK1V. Note that many customers have NSX running on Vblocks, customers can do whatever they want to their Vblocks after they are delivered, while still enjoying the benefits of Vblock.
Aside from that detail, VxBlocks and Vblocks are exactly the same in all aspects, except for the "x" between the "V" and the "B" on the side panels and cabinet doors. For a little while in 2016, VxBlocks allowed for slightly more hardware flexibility than Vblocks, and ever since, I have tended to default to building solutions around VxBlocks rather than Vblocks. But in all honesty, they are (and have been for a long time) identical and offer the same value and experience (unless you want to have NSX installed in the factory). From the perspective of this and other blog posts that I write, please assume that VxBlock = Vblock.
A VxBlock is a true converged infrastructure solution composed of Cisco networking and compute, Dell EMC storage, and VMware vSphere. It can be thought of as a data center in a box, where your network, compute, storage, storage fabric, and out-of-band management elements are delivered in pre-configured and pre-cabled data center cabinets. This is made possible by requiring that the system (and it is a system) is built in the CPSD factory using ISO compliant processes both for physical (racking, stacking, cabling) and logical (installing and configuring vSphere, storage arrays, etc).
The traditional Vblock has expanded to include much more than blades, storage, and fabric to now offer additional options through Tech Extensions, which include additional Dell and Cisco products like data protection (Data Domain / Avamar / RecoverPoint / VPLEX), scale-out file (Isilon), rack mount servers (think Cisco C-Series servers to support Gfx acceleration), as well as supporting multiple storage arrays, network switches (for demarcation), or server domains (for availability zones / discrete use cases) inside Vblocks, while still maintaining the pre-configured single appliance approach. The example below is an example of how a single Vblock architecture (that AHEAD implemented) can contain many storage/compute domains.
The level of pre-configuration is so significant that it typically takes us only a couple of days to turn over a Vblock to a customer from the time that it arrives at the data center, regardless of complexity. This might not sound incredibly fast if you are used to HCI, but even when you compare it to HCI, it is fast if you understand that a Vblock can be shipped with four blades and 5TB of storage, or 200+ blades and petabytes of storage; in either case, the time to deploy is similar.
The factory build also gives Vblocks an edge over reference architectures because it ensures that a consistent ISO build process is always followed, and therefore, a consistent configuration is created. This consistency results in higher stability and faster response time to issues (if you know exactly how a data center is configured, you are going to resolve issues more quickly). This also ensures that the Dell CPSD approach to single vendor support can be delivered well, given a consistent and uniform deployment methodology.
Finally, Vblocks also offer lifecycle management through release certification matrices. This basically means that you get a workbook outlining what you should patch, to what level, and in what order to ensure uptime and avoid outages. I want to stress that this process, like any major software / firmware updates applied to large systems, is complicated – and is not always perfect. That said, the fact that you get a runbook on how to do it is lightyears better than being responsible for comparing hardware compatibility guides across 50~ software and hardware components to get to a matrix that doesn't have any conflicts, and then after that, being responsible for figuring out the order in which you should go about applying these updates.
Prior to the boom in the HCI market, CPSD offered a variety of Vblock products whose primary point of distinction was based on its relative scale and primary storage array. Smaller workloads were served by a Vblock 100, which had Cisco rack mount servers and a VNXe. Slightly larger workloads were served again by a Vblock 240 which has Cisco rack mount servers and a VNX5200. Due to the rise of HCI and the relatively high cost and complexity of Vblock 100s, that platform is no longer sold. You can address that type of workload much more efficiently with a product like VxRail. We haven't seen it yet, but we expect the Vblock 240 line to be cancelled and replaced by VxRail due to the same reasons.
Should this be a concern for Dell CPSD? Absolutely not. The reality is that the VB100 and VB240 product lines were never very popular and VxRail is a perfect use case for smaller workloads.
The next Vblock tier is the Vblock 350, which is based on the Unity storage platform. This is likely the most popular Vblock platform because it provides large scalability at a lower storage cost point than XtremIO or VMAX, even for the all-flash unity tier, and it offers both block and file support from a unified array. With a maximum advertised compute footprint of 256 blades, this platform can easily address large-scale enterprise workloads.
Workloads that require the highest performing tier of storage, or that benefit significantly from compression and deduplication services, are best served by the Vblock 540 which is based on Dell EMC XtremIO. The VB540 also has a maximum advertised compute footprint of 256 blades, which is based on 8 XtremIO bricks. Aside from the storage, the other components (compute, network, storage fabric) are typically identical to that of the VB540.
Finally CPSD offers the VB740, based on VMAX, for the workloads that require the highest level of uptime and/or scale. VMAX, like top-tier storage arrays from other major players, is typically used for workloads that require a combination of high performance, high levels of control, and the highest available uptime. We have historically seen customers invest in this platform for mission-critical workloads, as well as an alternative to XtremIO for situations where the data set does not deduplicate well, but that still requires very high performance.
Which Path is Best for My Organization?
In typical consulting fashion, I tend to say that it depends! I spend a considerable amount of my time with customers helping them tease out workload and organizational requirements to help guide them to the most appropriate architecture and platform.
The last point is critical. Many vendors today tout "the old way of doing IT with SANs and separate storage, network, and compute is old and stodgy." That is one viewpoint. However, for many enterprise organizations, stodgy also means that these types of solutions are tried-and-true, and are built on a legacy of infrastructure and code development that is still relevant in the marketplace.
In terms of goals and strategy, organizations that are pushing heavily on automation and orchestration, on building their "private cloud" with Amazon or Azure, appreciate inherent properties of HCI. This is due to the intrinsic simplification and automation of the products and due to the scale-out nature that abstracts legacy barriers like whether to put workloads on storage array A or B.
*For the features that included an asterisk, I want to call out that I know that some, and soon most, HCI products can check these boxes. However, for many organizations, especially for the requirement of active/active, the solution must be bullet proof and proven. Although I can create a stretch cluster with VSAN, for example, I can't convey the same level of confidence of that architecture to that of VPLEX that has supported 1000s of active/active stretch clusters running critical workloads.
And as you can see, one can, in fact, address most of the attributes I listed for CI platforms with HCI. This just goes to show that HCI is very quickly reaching feature parity to that of traditional three-tier architectures. We probably won't see HCI rushing to support bare metal for less common operating systems, but just like the arguments against virtualization a decade ago, the arguments against HCI are becoming weaker as the HCI market and the platforms that represent it become more mature.
Now that I've covered the VxBlock platform, how does it compare to the broader CI market, the even broader reference architecture / validated designs market, and the more general compute and storage market?
Within the CI market, I do believe that VxBlock is the most effective and competitive platform for general workloads. It is the only platform that is built in a repeatable fashion, that offers true single vendor support, and that offers lifecycle management. I'll give a nod to Oracle Exadata as a solid platform, specifically for Oracle workloads, but it's not a platform that I'd ever recommend for general purpose data center workloads. While HPE and HDS have both brought product to bear in this marketplace, neither company's offering was founded with the ethos that Vblock was by VCE originally – and their products do not enjoy the support (internal, engineering, or sales) that Vblocks have always had.
My expectation of VxBlock and CI is that both the specific product, and the CI market, will continue to grow as more customers shift investments from DIY and reference architecture to CI. That said, I do expect that growth to slow down, as the lower (smaller)-end workloads that in the past would have been placed on a smaller CI stack, are now more likely to be placed on an HCI stack. And as HCI continues to mature and be more widely adopted, I expect to see additional pressure against growth of the CI market, and indirectly of VxBlocks.
I am planning two more blog posts in this series, specifically around Dell EMC's approach to the HCI space, as well as to better understand Dell's legacy reference architecture and validated design approach.
Publishing this post around use case and health of Dell EMC's Vblock product line would be remiss without commentary around the current state of the Dell EMC and Cisco market relationship. There is much "FUD" (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) not only in the marketplace,but sometimes also within various field sales teams at both Dell EMC and Cisco.
Some people believe that DellEMC will be moving away from support of Vblock because of a desire to promote VxRail, DellXC, or general PowerEdge infrastructure. Other people believe that Cisco will move away from DellEMC because of competition to sell ACI, UCS, HyperFlex, and Cisco storage systems. We can all hope that Dell EMC will not launch a VdBlock – a laughable product name that can sometimes be the result of the FUD that is flying around.
Executive Dell EMC management has publicly committed to Vblock.
Executive Cisco management is has publicly committed to Vblock.
Dell EMC and Cisco have a strong history of success and continue to maintain a strong contractual relationship that has been in place since the end of the original VCE joint venture which is set to auto-renew. All indications point to a strong belief that this relationship will continue.
Cisco will not walk away from a product in which ~20% of all global UCS sales (and significant Nexus and MDS business) take place.
Dell EMC will not walk away from a product with approximately $3B~ annual run rate, thousands of installs, and a very successful product history.
Vblock continues to be an excellent platform for Cisco's cloud story including ACI, CloudCenter, and UCS Director to help clients build the total Cisco cloud story.
Vblock continues to be an excellent platform for Dell EMC's Enterprise Hybrid Cloud story including the VMware Suite of vRA, vRO, vSOM, and NSX.
AHEAD's view is that Vblock is still supported by both companies; it continues to profit both companies and both companies are and should be behind the Vblock product sales. When the technology and business use case applies – Vblock is a solid option in the marketplace and will continue to make sense as long as mission critical workloads continues to run in the data center!

James holds a PhD in Leadership Studies (Tennessee Temple University now part of Piedmount International University), M.A. Christian Ministry (Friends University) and B.S. Christian Ministry (Tabor College). James spent several years as a substitute school teacher for the Wichita, KS public school system and doing pulpit supply for many churches in the Oklahoma and Kansas region for various churches. In 2016, James moved back to his old Kentucky home after prayer and circumstances made it happen. Jesus has a strong faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and loves Jesus with his whole being. Jame's goal in life is that when his name is mentioned a person thinks of Jesus and not him. Among the hobbies James has includes a love of nature especially the mountains and engaging in the natural beauty God has given us. Jesus also loves the night sky and stars. In addition, he enjoys exercising and weight lifting. Further, James loves music and learning. James favorite authors are C.S. Lewis and G. K. Chesterton. One of the mottos of James is to never stop learning, because God's world is a fountain of knowledge and wisdom. So drink heavily from that fountain of knowledge and wisdom.

When I'm not writing about math or literacy, I find myself in the garden these days. This summer I planted mini-succulent gardens in pots. These will only be watered about once a week when I begin traveling again, so they have to be drought-tolerant.
We have a great sprinkler system, so it's color galore in the rest of my gardens. Just planted the summer beds full of hardy stuff that loves the heat. Decided to tuck herbs into the flower beds in the front, since Hercules doesn't hang out there and tranple them. I love cooking with fresh herbs! So I've got lots of basil, thyme, marjoram, sage, rosemary, and Italian flat-leaf parsley.
In the back are the really tough plants. Knockout roses that bloom 12 months a year here. Lots of butterfly-loving plants abound.
One thing I love about living in Houston is the winter here. We don't get snow, and there are very limited nights when our temperatures hover near freezing.
But the best thing of all is winter color in the garden! We did have a colder-than-usual spell which prompted having to pull out every bedsheet I own to cover my precious blooms. But it was worth it. The colors are amazing right now! There are pink dianthus, multi-colored cyclamen, white ornamental kale, big-faced pansies, fragrant sweet alyssum, and Swiss chard. Every time I go by my front yard, my flowers make me smile.
